Panasonic LX100 II Has One of the Largest Compact Camera Sensors Out There

Those wanting to invest into a compact camera should definitely check out the newly-unveiled Panasonic LX100 II, a pocket-sized powerful shooter.

The successor of the Lumix LX100, the Panasonic LX100 II brings huge improvements on all fronts. This starts with a new 17 MP MFT (Micro Four Thirds) sensor with multi-aspect cropping and goes up to a better LCD rear display and Bluetooth support. For long exposures, the Panasonic LX100 II ups the LX 100’s 120-second limit to a whopping duration of 30 minutes, so, if you were planning to do some night-time traffic shots, this should do the trick.

On the video front, nothing is changed and yet still impressive for a compact camera. You can shoot for up to 15 minutes in 4K at 30 FPS or in 1080p at 60 fps. All of this will set you back $999. Here are the rest of the specs so you can decide if you want to be one of the early adopters this October when it will be launched.

• 17MP Four Thirds MOS Sensor
• F1.7-2.8 / 24-75mm LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX lens and 3cm macro shot
